A Play Date with Verve...

Helloo!First things first; call me slow (I am!) but I have only just noticed that I have a bunch of new followers! Hi guys! Thank you so much for joining me here :) The reason I hadn't noticed is that I don't look, ever. I'm not rude, I promise!! When I first started my blog I had been following other people for ages and they all had hundreds of followers. Obviously, when I posted the first couple of times I didn't have any followers, but I thought it might pick up a bit the more I posted. Well...it will be two years in July and I still don't have hundreds of followers! Ha ha! I decided, so as not to get too disheartened, to just not look at the 'number'. I am happy to make my cards, hopefully get a comment or three (which absolutely makes my day!) and enter the challenges that I enjoy participating in. I am SUPER grateful to all those who do follow my blog, don't get me wrong - you guys are the best! ;)Ok, on to the card now :)As the title implies, this is the sketch from Viva La Verve meeting the colours from the Play Date Cafe. Simples, right?!!

So there's the sketch and the colour story. To say I was slightly worried by the THOUSANDS of layers on that sketch would be an epic understatement! Despite my best efforts, me and layers just don't ever seem to get on well! Meh...I carry on regardless however...practice makes perfect and all that, right? Are you ready?...

...honestly, still not sure how I feel about this card. Unlike yesterday's CAS(E) this sketchcard, I really had to work at this one and I think that's where the problem lies. The background paper definitely saved it - you should've seen it before! It is a grower I think as the more I look at it the better it gets :) I'd love to know what you guys think...you always seem to see things that I'm too close to notice! This is another one that will be winging it's way to my darling Mother and because she's my Mother she'll love it anyway ;) Mum's are the best!Thanks for stopping by ;)
